In episode 4, we continue our student interviews. We’re trying something new this time, too. A couple things, actually. Our show intro is done by Zoe, whom we interviewed on the last episode. This episode also features a song. This may be a new feature we continue. I picked the song for this episode, but hopefully I can get the readers to find one. We’ll be selecting music from podsafe music websites. Being a librarian and all, I try not to break any copyright laws.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Posted on February 23rd, 2007 in Book Reviews by zoew

The Sisterhood is about four friends who are spending their first summer without each other. The girls come up with an idea. They decide to share a pair of pants, which magically fits them all perfectly! Who says a pair of pants can’t hold magic?

I like the book because it’s all about friendship and adventure.

I think they could make the book better by at the top of the page in big letters say the girls name so you won’t get confused. I know I kind of did!
